Kenney Says UCP Must Choose Federalist Roots, Expel Separatists After Alberta Vote
The former premiers will urge voters to keep Alberta in Canada as 10 referendum questions go to a vote Monday, including one on separation.
- On Tuesday, former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and former Alberta Premier Rachel Notley united at an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce event to urge Albertans to vote against separating from Canada in the upcoming October 19 referendum.
- The event comes days before Albertans vote on 10 questions in a referendum on Monday, with the most contested question asking whether the province should remain in Canada or pursue a binding referendum on independence.
- Kenney argued their co-operation shows "patriotism beats partisanship," and CBC News polling suggests 72 per cent of Albertans would vote to remain in Canada, while 23 per cent support starting a binding independence process.
- Regarding the United Conservative Party, Kenney warned that Premier Danielle Smith's organization will face a "reckoning" after the vote, requiring the party to decide if separatists who have "infiltrated" it should be ejected.
- The referendum emerges alongside threats to Canadian sovereignty including the recent election of a separatist government in Quebec and President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff war and musings about annexation.
